Our story started in the hallways of Hamilton High School, where we became fast friends, sharing laughter and dreams of the future. Although we embarked on different paths after graduation, our bond remained strong, and the memories we created together stayed close to our hearts. As life unfolded, we each experienced the highs and lows of adult life separately. Little did we know that our paths would remain intertwined. Before we knew it, we realized that life was giving us a second chance to explore the feelings that had quietly been brewing between us for years. The more we spent time together, the more we realized that our friendship had laid the foundation for something truly special. Our love blossomed against the backdrop of new experiences, shared adventures, and the joys of discovering each other all over again. We found comfort in each other's presence and solace in knowing that we had a friend for life in one another. In 2016, we made a bold decision together - to start a new chapter on the east coast. Leaving behind the familiar, we ventured into the unknown with hearts full of hope and excitement. The East Coast became the canvas upon which we painted our love story. Together, we explored new cities, made new friends, adopted an adorable dog named Bellatrix and created a home filled with love, laughter, and shared dreams. Every step of this journey has been made more beautiful because we had each other to lean on. And now, with immense joy and gratitude, we invite you to be a part of the next chapter in our love story - our wedding day. We are humbled by the love and support we have received from our families and friends, and we are excited to celebrate this milestone with all of you. This wedding celebration is not just about two individuals coming together; it is about the merging of our families, our friendships, and the collective love that has nurtured us throughout the years.
